Ian Jacoby is a rare breed in every sense of the word. He grew up in the business his father had built, where they would help companies in the trades to obtain the respective permits.

By outsourcing this process to Ian and his team, contractors are able to focus on their true areas of expertise and grow their businesses more effectively.

As the president of iPermit, Ian is on a mission to help businesses across the U.S. with permit expediting, final inspections, as well as HERS testing. He stops by to share his professional journey with us and talks about the advantages of outsourcing the permit process.
